Why are Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher playing?

Gerrard and Carragher are back in red to mark the anniversary, the club say.

The Liverpool legends were named in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line up for the end of season friendly in Sydney.

Gerrard and Carragher are joined by Steve McManaman and Daniel Agger, who are both on the bench.

“It will be an honour to pull on the Red shirt and play football with an outstanding squad and former team mates - this is what Liverpool is all about, celebrating the family that has been around for 125 years,” he said.

“Our fans in Australia always give us a warm welcome so it’ll be a great feeling to see the ANZ Stadium turn red on 24th May.”
